New 3BR Condo | by SJO Airport & Convention Center
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful and Secure Stay at Guanacasa Condominium! We had an amazing experience at Guanacasa Condominium! The gated community offers excellent security, with two gates to pass through before entering—something we really appreciated for peace of mind. The condo itself was comfortable and well-maintained, and the pool area was pleasant, perfect for relaxing after a long day of activities. Although we rented a car to get to our scheduled excursions, it was super convenient to have a designated parking spot right outside our condo door. Everything about our stay felt easy, safe, and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a secure, relaxing place to stay!

Relaxing House in Condo Costa Rica
This place was the perfect place for us. Although it was in a residential property with many homes, it was incredibly relaxing and felt uncrowded, allowing for true peace and quiet. I loved being able to walk to nearby stores, which made my stay super convenient. We made many meals with all of the kitchen appliances needed provided. This is a very nice place, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

Centrally located apartment in the east of San José
The best place we've visited in SJ! The place was spotless when we arrived. Check-in was easy. Indoor parking is ideal in these rainy seasons. The place is perfectly equipped. Having 1 and 1/2 bathrooms is super convenient. It will definitely become our #1 in East SJ.

4BR Casa Peces Santa Ana, Indoor Pool & Sauna!
Casa Peces is well maintained and comfortable. The home is spacious and the neighborhood was peaceful. The pool was perfect. It was very easy to communicate with both Martha and Jessica. I would absolutely stay at Casa Peces again on a future trip!

Casa Gaudi🦚Near SJO🦚Private Pool & King BD
Comfortable and family place to enjoy in peace

Casa Turrú, an oasis of calm
My family and I enjoyed the place very much! It is insanely beautiful, house decor is so unique and very comfortable and friendly people! The only one thing I would say is that in the House photos looks like there’s rooms outside however those are extra cabins in the same property(reserved separately) This home is only 3 Bedrooms, each bedroom has a bathroom which is so nice!

5 beds | SJO | Fast Internet | Heredia |
We had a wonderful short stay at Francisco’s house! The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and had a perfect balance of minimalism and functionality. As parents of a little baby, we felt completely at ease letting him explore, knowing the space was safe and well-kept. Francisco was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely love to come back!

Luxury Townhouse (8p max)-Pool & Fitness-Escazu
Excellent host, and one of the best equipped homes we have stayed in!! Very well decorated and sure made you feel the luxury component that this place offers. Directly around the corner from the unit is common area with conference rooms , gym, and an elegant lap pool backed by a forested setting! Highly recommended option!!

Mountain Home: Near SJO, Poás & Waterfalls
This is a great place if you're traveling on a budget! We had everything we needed for our stay while we located a permanent home rental. Josue was flexible and good to communicate with. This is a Tico house, so if you're new to Costa Rica, know that means no hot water except the in-line heater in the shower, no screens on the doors, and you shouldn't flush the toilet paper. But all that said, it's a comfortable house in the mountains with incredible views, and the cows are a bonus. We would recommend it to our friends!

San José Studio, San Pedro
Great location, clean place. Would definitely return!

Ciudad Colón, House with a Beautiful View
Carlo's place was great! We stayed almost a week and felt right at home. We saw many birds and even a couple frogs from the expansive living room and deck. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was much appreciated and worked great. The showers were nice. We cooked in the kitchens many mornings and were very happy with the set up and appliances. I also have to say that Cuidad Colon was a charming small town and I hope to return someday. All in all I highly recommend Carlo's place!

Casa Botánica Aranjuez - Guesthouse
We were seduced by this beautiful house with old charm. Interior decorated simply and tastefully. The house has everything you need. Note that the parking offered is not suitable for large cars. We recommend this beautiful place and will definitely go back!

Pura Vida 506 House in Heredia
The location is excellent, with everything you need to have a good time, clean, tidy and warm. We felt comfortable and safe.

Mediterranean Villa
Rober’s villa was absolutely gorgeous! Every space was tastefully decorated with beautiful art & sculpture. The enclosed patios lined with bouganvillia along with the comfort of lounging & dining indoors made the space truly feel like a Mediterranean getaway worlds away from the hustle & bustle of the surrounding town. Will be our new go to anytime we’re in the area!

Stairway to Heaven
I enjoyed my stay. The view is incredible, mesmerizing. The apartment is fully equipped. WiFi worked very well. The only improvement I could recommend is to add a couch to the living room where guests could relax. Thanks Kenneth. Great communication

House in the capital, access to everything.
Mainor was super nice to us, we arrived with 5 young people and he offered to be our adoptive dad so I think we got along well. He even gave us a bottle and offered activities, I really recommend it! Thank you so much for this stay!!!

Close to the airport
We only stayed the night here before our flight the next day. Sirlene was a great host and reached out to us well in advance with information and made sure we were comfortable when we arrived. She offered us fresh eggs from her farm. The home is in a unique location. It feels really private although it’s right in the city and close to the airport. I feel like this place is a fantastic value and was a very nice place to stay. I definitely recommend staying here.

Entire House & Free Parking 10 min to SJO Airport
Fantastic spot with so much space in the heart of San Jose. Easy to walk around and find anything you need. Lots of privacy with an entire fenced in yard. Host was so responsive and very kind. Definitely recommend.
